Toni Morrison : The Last Interview

A wide-ranging collection of talks with the beloved author finds her refreshingly candid about her books and her life, race and misogyny, and more.

In this generous collection of thought-provoking interviews -- including her first and last -- the author Barack Obama called a "national treasure" talks with a wide variety of people, from Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Bill Moyers to obscure bloggers. She details not only her writing life and her influences, but also her other careers as a teacher, and as a publisher, as well as the gripping story of her family.
